Mexico Getaway

Mommy & Daddy escaped to Mexico for a fun-filled 9 days!!  It was a blast, but it was the longest we had ever been away from the girls!  Fortunately they were having a great time back home too!

Gorgeous Pools and Beach

Daddy picked out these giant lollipops for the girls!

Soccer

Besides dance and tennis, Tatum & Talia also played soccer this spring.  Tonight they had their final games.  Tatum did a great job of going after the ball and Talia scored her first goal tonight!!  What a fun season!

Tatum is in blue in the middle of the group (next to the boy with the red jersey) 

She's getting a pass from her teammate (with the pink striped socks)

Proud of her medal :-) 

Taizley took Talia's medal and kept saying "my medal"!  Maybe she deserves it for 

being on the sidelines all season :-) 

Both girls with their medals

Dance Recital

Tatum & Talia did a great job at their dance recital!  Everyone looked so cute and it was a lot of fun to watch!  Way to go girls!

Dance Recital Videos

Here is a little bit from their dress rehearsal for the dance recital. Talia is in the middle of her group with the lightest hair :-) Tatum is 3rd from the right and is the tallest :-) They both did so great!

Tatum's Glasses

Tatum has glasses!  She looks super cute in them - but it is hard for Mommy because she looks soooo grown up!  

School Programs

Tatum had her Kindergarten program last Thursday, the same day Talia had her preschool program.  Both girls did a great job!

Baby Jesus

Taizley loves reading the Bible that they got for Easter. My favorite is when she finds Baby Jesus - she loves to point him out :-)

Taizley's Playdate

Taizley had a playdate with her little friend Grace!  They played so cute together :)

Picture Day

Talia had picture day for preschool and Taizley had hers for children's day out!  Love the smiles :-)

Then we got home from school and they were sword fighting in the drive way!  Those are my pirate princesses!!

Easter Weekend

Easter is my favorite time of the year!  New life begins and it is always a weekend filled with family activities!

One of many Easter Egg hunts - this one was at Great Grandma Barth's 

GG with the girls 

Checking out their goodies! 

Easter morning - Talia finally got the 2 wheeled scooter that she prayed to the Easter Bunny to bring her :-)

Tatum got a "Big Wheel"....Mommy & Daddy remembered having one when they were little.  So far it has been a big hit with all the neighborhood kids!  Favorite gift from the Easter Bunny was their Beginer Bibles!  Tatum has read all 508 pages of her Bible (and more than once)!!!  Love it!

This is Grandpa's friend's motorcycle - couldn't get the girls off of it!  Daddy is in for TROUBLE someday! 

Easter Egg hunt at Grandpa & Grandma's house - Taizley was into it and running from egg to egg :-)

Beautiful Weather

Ever since the weather has gotten better, the girls eat outside almost every meal!  Taizley now has her spot at the picnic table and won't give it up!

Big Time

Taizley has to do EVERYTHING that her sisters are doing.  She loves to ride on the scooters and is actually getting really good at it!



State Bowling Tournament

Mark and his friends have now traded basketball in for a "safer" sport - bowling!!  This was their first year and they did pretty well.  They had their state tournament in Topeka this past weekend and the ladies went with them to cheer them on!

Mark's action shot!



Team Picture

Ok, so maybe the ladies didn't stay the entire time at the tournament - it was too nice out!  We went boating instead :-) 

Fun times ladies!!
